In honor of a fellow champion of learning and professional development,
the ASTD Nebraska 2010 Board created the The Julie
Durmaskin Professional Education Scholarship.
The scholarship provides monetary assistance to members of the local
chapter of the American Society for Training and Development,
ASTD Nebraska, for attending educational programs for
professional development. For example, a member could apply for
scholarship assistance to help pay for the chapter’s premiere
educational program, Trainer’s Institute.
Julie Durmaskin served on the Board as Director of Education. She was part of the
team that made educational programs available to workplace learning and
performance professionals in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metropolitan area. These
programs included the well-known Trainer’s Institute, held every October.
As the Merchant Sales Manager of Learning and Development at PayPal, Julie led her
team in performance coaching, employee development, organizational strategy,
knowledge management, leadership, and training. Her commitment to learning
was further evidenced by the Master of Science degree in Adult Learning,
Performance & Development that she earned from Drake University. Julie stepped
down from the ASTD Nebraska Board due to illness, and she passed away on May 26, 2010.
Her friends on the ASTD Nebraska Board named their scholarship fund after her
as a token of appreciation for her membership and participation in ASTD Nebraska.
Her passion for education inspires us and will continue to inspire us through the scholarship.
Thank you, Julie. Thank you for all the ways you have touched our lives and inspired our
ambition. It is with humble affection that we present The Julie Durmaskin Professional
Education Scholarship to our members.
